Jihadi John associate on his way to Europe was arrested in Turkey

Aine Lesley Davis was arrested after Turkish intelligence worked with British MI6 to monitor the movements of a messenger linked to Jihadi John inside the Syrian city of Raqqa and received information on Davis' plans, Hurriyet said.

Who is 'Jihadi John'?

Davis, a former drug offender from West London turned-ISIS jihadist, disappeared in Syria in 2013 to fight with ISIS, officials said.

Davis was noncommunicative during the interrogation "and all information was gathered through a digital investigation of his phone line," the newspaper said.

Turkish National Intelligence also shared possible locations in Syria of Jihadi John with the CIA and MI6, according to the report.

The airstrikes in Raqqa came just hours later. The United States says it is reasonably certain Jihadi John was killed in the drone strike.
